[Neutral] There should be more but smaller lab questions to help students develop a habit, rather than merely testing that they've understood the material.

Text Questions
The most important thing I learned in this course was:
Bash scripting
Valuable tools, especially git, that are quintessential for my future career, which would otherwise have taken me a lot more time and projects before gaining a sufficient experience
terminal stuff
There were a lot of important things that were covered in this class for future work which is really good. I liked the topics.
Practical knowledge is good. More courses like this should be offered
always practice
Nothing
What helped me to learn in this course was:
The content modules are very interactive, almost forcing you to learn the content as you went along with them.
The instructor as well as the materials provided by edx
lab instructor/concept checks/tutoring centre
Not really anything, this class was really self motivated.
practice
mostly google
What changes, if any, would I suggest for this course?
The only thing that I can think of is removing the pass/completed distinction and just having completion. I understand that it provided leeway in performing the weekly quizzes and assignments but I feel that it sets a precedent that you do not need to do all of the work to complete the course. I feel that the content is important and critical for students interested in computer science, and by requiring all of the content to be completed to its entirety, you would overall help students in the long term.
I wish the course materials are taught in lectures more actively, instead of self-learning and concept checks
There should be more but smaller lab questions to help students develop a habit, rather than merely testing that they've understood the material.
more connection to cs136 and how to use 136L as an enhancer
It was really hard to have motivation to do the work because of the teaching style of the course, it was really easy to blow off the work and barely skim the text which means that I do not learn anything. Having a little more structure than what was given this semester would be nice. Although the freedom was nice, some sort of a mix between a regular class and the flipped classroom style would help a lot with absorbing information.
